    Cheese pull
    Tiffany T.

    Beautiful ambience. Good food & drinks for the most part. Service was a 7 out of 10. We started out with whole wings w/side of Mac & cheese appetizer..(wings were way too salty) Mac & cheese was cooked & seasoned perfectly.. check out the cheese pull! As for the entrées..Rasta Pasta w/salmon was delish just the right amount of seasoning & sauce. The lamb chop w/mash potatoes was also delish..I always appreciate a good homemade red potato mash.. skins included. The sweet chili sauce drizzle on the lamb chops were a perfect combo! Overall I recommend and looking forward to trying more dishes from the menu.

    This spot has tons to offer for all. The only negative or consideration before going is their entire parking lot is valet. It's $10. The inside is beautiful, lovely flowers, balloon designs. Staff, are pleasantly accommodating to making sure you have a great time and explain the menu. Food, I'm not a pancake person, but those jokers were awesome. I ordered the salmon croquettes brunch. Perfect crisp on the outside and flavorful inside. The salmon brunch comes with swap out options. This spot has a private dining area, outdoor space with umbrellas. Live music, is also available at some events. Back to the food, it's great!

    What a gorgeous place with a stellar vibe. I visited Clutch recently to celebrate my best friend's birthday and I'm so glad I did! They deserve more love. This establishment was really well thought out in regards to decor especially because, wow. The balloon arches, the bar decor, gorgeous place. First thing to know - Valet is your only real option here. Cash app/Cash accepted. Apparently some folks park in nearby lots but guess who won't get caught up in that? ME lol. So I paid my fee and took it as a blessing lol. When we checked in, our table for 12+ was prepped and ready for the birthday girl to take her seat. There weren't too many people in the restaurant at this time which made it feel more intimate and I loved that. We had a great seat in front of the stage, which would come in handy later. Our servers name was Dallas and what an Angel. We all ordered some drinks and relaxed as we awaited more friends. I started off with the spicy Margarita which was delicious but a bit too sweet and only a dash of liquor lol. And I am actually one who doesn't love my drinks too strong but, hook a girl up! Lol. But it was yummy! For dinner, we all went with different options and I struggled to make a choice thanks to their delicious menu options. I opted for the crab cakes and Brussel sprouts and phew! Crab cakes were full of crab, the sprouts were banging, just fabulous. I was also eyeing the wings and my friends all loved them! My only complaint regarding food is that I ordered two glasses of wine that ended up Griggs $20 a glass?? A GLASS? I hate that they didn't include prices because even me, being a restaurant frequent and a wine-o, I never imagined that number. I told Dallas that she should share that tip with her fabulous owners/managers because it's hard to turn me off but I wasn't ecstatic about that surprise lol. But it was great wine :) And the live music! At one point, we had the opportunity to hear some amazing vocals and tunes, and wow. I can't wait to go back although this time, I will only order drinks with prices listed ;-)

    I want to give 5 stars; however, my fingers won't let me hit the 5th star due to false advertising! I took my husband here this past Saturday, 7-22, to celebrate his bday. I made reservations online for a party of 6 (actually ended up being 9). I asked him what time he wanted to go, and after I saw what was supposed to be a live band at 5pm and later, I decided to book 5:45! We were both looking forward to the band....WonhWonhWonh!! Boy were we surprised!! No band nowhere to be seen/found! My goodneeesss, had we known that I would have booked brunch! Ok, on to the actual restaurant and food. The actual restaurant is very nice! Nice atmosphere, nice decor, nice waitress! All of the ppl in our party enjoyed their food! Although, 2 ppl had to send back their lambchops b/c they were cold. The manager came out w/no problem and accommodated their request to give them hot lambchops. My pasta was very tasty!! Nothing left in my bowl! My husband had the steak. He said it was good, but not Great b/c he had to put steak sauce on it. Other than that, we were all satisfied! Our waitress Jasmine was very attentive and patient! Thanks Jasmine! Now, let me just say, another reason I couldn't give 5 stars is b/c of the photographer that they have taking pics! Nice gesture, however, the price that he charges is RIDICULOUS!! $20 per pic..and he takes a bunch of them!! That company knows what they're doing, b/c they get you excited about the nice pics, then they tell you the price!! A complete rip-off if you ask me! Once you see them, I mean, you end of wanting all of them (at least I did). And on top of that, it's not just $20, they charge tax!! For pictures? Anyway, I went on and bought 3...they were all so nice! Next time I go, I will make sure to tell the photographer, no pics!! BTW, valet parking is $10. All in all, highly recommended restaurant and a plus b/c it's a B.O.B!

    I came in with my social organization on a Tuesday and Dezirae was our server. Dezirae deserves all of the kudos and praise as she handled our group of 25 with ease and grace. If she was a little stressed or annoyed, she did not show it at all. She was as present as she could be handling a group that large and I appreciate her for taking care of us that evening. We came on R&B Bingo nights which was really fun. The restaurant wasn't that busy aside from us so, our group won all of the rounds. The host and the DJ were really good and I would definitely come back to play. The food was just okay. I didn't get my tacos until I was about to leave. Actually, none of the ladies that ordered the taco Tuesday special got their tacos until it was time to go. The tacos were good they were just a little bit spicy for my taste. I didn't know they came with like a spicy sauce on top of them. However the quality of the ground beef was good and I will just order it out the sauce on it next time. I stuck with the Taco Tuesday special but did of course look over the menu. It's a little bit pricey to me for a atmosphere as it is. But, to each his own. There were like no true mid price appetizers that appeased me. It would be nice if they offered more appetizers as well. Just due to nights like the R&B Bingo night in which people may not want to eat a full meal. I really did like the White Tea Tini. The cocktail was refreshing and very delicious.

    From the moment you walk in, the service is LAZY!! The greeter/hostess looked very uninterested ... never smiled and her body language was giving an impression she didn't want to be there. We were seated and not too long after the host returns and says she will be taking our order- ¡oh boy! First menu/advertising error- I was there for a comedy show and the show flyer advertised a 2-item per person minimum. The restaurant had their own paper printed that contradicted the flyer, it read, "each person must spend $30". I asked her about that and her response was "oh, that comedy flyer must be old." We considered leaving but ordered a drink each instead. Within a few minutes of ordering the server/hostess comes back and says there weren't any blackberries to make my drink and two minutes after that the bartender yells across the restaurant holding up blackberries. My drink was very poorly made and the ice melted so fast it was warm. The blackberries were not fresh and something was off-- it didn't seem to be mixed correctly. From that moment I decided to order wine because it's a simple pour and that can't be messed up. Welp, the first wine my date and I requested they were out of. The second wine was on promo ($10 if u purchase more than one glass) so I thought ok, even better. In total, we ordered 4 glasses of wine. When the bill comes, we were charged $15 per glass ($60 as opposed to $40). I explained to the server what was advertised and she says "where did you see that at" so clearly she is unaware of the menu and I hated to be questioned as if I was being dishonest. The bill is taken and returned with a $20 credit-- this credit appears to be a payment which mean it doesn't lower the actual cost of the bill nor the auto 20% gratuity. I was over her, the terrible service she provided and the overpriced drinks they have. My date and I decided to stay to watch the comedians and make the best out of it but will NEVER return. The place was practically empty aside from the patrons supporting the comedians and there is no surprise why. Once the tab had been closed my date asked her for a cup or bottle of water, it was 9p and he was willing to pay for it... she says "everything is closed." and walked away. Tip: Train your team and bartenders. Being professional and polite will go a long way.

    Excellent vibes, music, comfortable seating. It's right off the highway. Comics were great with an exceptional host. Clean restaurant and restrooms. Superb menu! Food was great as well as friendly staff. Came for comedy night and enjoyed myself. Will come again when back in town visiting. Highly recommend

    If I Dussè so

    My friends and I had a reservation for dinner on Friday night. Only option for parking was $10 valet, and I agree with other reviewers--I could point to my car from the door, why am I paying to park and y'all got a lot? We had a group of 7, and waited a bit before we were seated because they wanted half of our party to be present. With a group of our size, our waitress took drink and appetizer orders first. Table had calamari and cauliflower bites. Both appetizers were okay, wouldn't necessarily order them for myself again. My first drink was the Reposado Lover, it was only okay for $17. I tried another drink, If I Dussè So--much better option, also $17. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. I got the Rasta pasta with salmon. It had a good spice to it and I finished it all. Also, the lobster mac n cheese side was good. The service was good, and an automatic 20% gratuity was added. They do celebrate birthdays by singing and bringing a dessert, which happened a few times while we were there. Nice vibe with a DJ playing a good mix.

    Crispy Brussel Sprouts & Chicken Wings (Bone-In)
    Elease S.

    Clutch Restaurant was definitely a VIBE! Loved that they had a live band / music Friday night. So, that added immensely to the overall mood of the restaurant. The only downside is that the restaurant itself isn't huge, so having to talk over the live band as they jammed out, got a little strenuous since we had to basically yell or speak super closely to one another. Beyond that, live band was AMAZING!!! Highly recommended for a date night and more small parties (unlike the party I size I was with, as service quickly declined with our larger party of 5 people). Now, on to the food, drinks and service. The food and drinks were really good. Though, I did have to send my first drink back due to the bartender not knowing how to properly prepare a French 75. However, it was quickly remedied when the restaurant manager got behind the counter and made our drinks! The food was so delicious. The brussel sprouts were devoured almost immediately and the chicken wings were perfectly seasoned. It was definitely 9 out of 10 in the food scale for the dish I ordered. Sadly, the only TRUE disappointment was our assigned waitress. She basically disappeared mid-way through the night and never came back to service our table. Once again, the restaurant manager picked up the slack and took care of our table. Despite that, my overall experience with restaurant was really good. I would go back again and just simply sit at the bar for quicker service. Again, highly recommended for a date night and more intimate parties of 2-3 people. Definitely go on a Friday / weekend when the live band is there to get a catch a nice vibe!

    The good things... the restaurant is clean and interesting looking. The challenges... there is a DJ playing really loud music all through dinner. Think night club. It was good music! But not appropriate for a family dinner. They want 10.00 to valet park 25 feet from the front door. Our service was bad. And I don't say that lightly. They couldn't find our reservation when we arrived. We waited an hour for our dinners, and one dinner didn't come out for an hour and fifteen minutes. I can't tell if it was the kitchen or the server. We tried to order desert, but that's been about 20 mins too... The shrimp and grits were mediocre. Pretty runny. Maybe 2/3 pieces of shrimp. Caribbean salmon was good. Brownie dessert was good.

    Mimosa
    Shavone G.

    R&B and Bingo are an undefeated combination for me. Checked out Clutch for their R&B Bingo Brunch. I would definitely come back. I don't suggest ordering the mimosa. Not worth the price. Unless they offer unlimited mimosas. Free Parking The place was pretty empty. I was able to sit at the bar. Service was good. Food - Pork Chops, Eggs and Grits. My Eggs were really salty but they took them back and remade them. I judge brunch by their grits and I liked the grits. The taste was good. Didn't need salt. Good consistency. Drinks - Mango, Strawberry Mimosa. Just wasn't happy about the price ($14). I would recommend not drinking or getting something else. It's plenty other places in ATL where you can get bottomless for the price I paid. Automatic Gratuity (20%) DJ - Enjoyed the music.

    tl;dr would come back for the comedy night. great comedians. love supporting locals. and they're actually funny wouldn't come back for food/drinks. too expensive and mediocre flavor profile for the high cost E X P E R I E N C E we came as a group of 2 on a sunday night for comedy night. It is after hours. Its supposed to start at 7pm but did not start until 730pm. there's a stage area placed with a bunch of large speakers and portable dj. TIP: comedy night is $40 minimum food per person! SUPPORT local comedians! most were great. everyone had a least one joke that the crowd enjoyed. reggie kush (follow him on ig!) was the funniest one, most down to earth and best vibes. super chill dude. S P O R T S B A R There are several TV's at the bar area. the restaurant area is suitable for singles, couples to large groups. F O O D alcoholic drinks are light. 15-18 for cocktails bang shrimp $20 for 7 pc of shrimp. unreal. $15 for ground lobster mac n cheese food was too salty and the portions were so small. the shrimp was supposed to be an entree but looked like a side I N T E R I O R well decorated. clean. aesthetically pleasing. S E R V I C E our waitress was good. attentive. kind. P R I C E 91 incl automatically charged 20% gratituity

    Jerk burger and fries, lobster Mac in the middle , and chicken wings and Brussel sprouts at the far end
    Tasha H.

    My experience here was so-so. I'll start with the positives. The inside is really cute and well decorated. My waitress, Jenara, was amazing. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and a heck of a bartender. I had the lavender lemon drop martini (2), and they were amazing. Tasty, yet strong. The cauliflower bites were my favorite item. They are so goood and are the first ones I've had that actually do taste similar to chicken. For my entree, I got the Jerk burger and fries. The fries were plain. The burger was tasty, heavy but not something I'd crave. My friend got the whole chicken wings, and they were smaller than expected. I can't eat lobster, but my friend ordered the lobster mac. The top looked dry, but the inside wasn't... Now to what I didn't like/enjoy...the fact they charge for parking is insane. It's in Brookhaven with a parking lot attached. It's not a high crime area and again ....there's a whole huge parking lot. To charge for parking is greedy and annoying. Also my friend and I were one of the first patrons of the night. The parking lot was empty when we arrived, yet we still had to pay. I don't get it. It was also hot inside the restaurant and this is coming from a person that is ALWAYS cold. They had fans at the front which were sort of distracting and slightly helpful. Not sure if I'll go back and this may be petty, but the parking situation definitely deters me.

When one of our party wasn't happy with an entree the issue was rectified immediately and the manager also came over to ensure it was handled to our satisfaction.

Our daughter spent the first few minutes waving at the staff, and they genuinely lit up every time -- such a warm, welcoming vibe right from the jump. Starters We kicked things off with the she‑crab soup, and that's when we knew the meal was going to be special. Tons of rich crab flavor and chunks of crab. The crispy shrimp toast was another hit -- crunchy, savory, and a great pairing with the soup. We also ordered the Baker's Dozen oysters, chef's selection. All 13 were fresh, clean, and briny in the best way. Next up: the Spanish octopus, and honestly... top five octopus dish we've had. Cooked perfectly -- tender, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture. The salsa macha added just the right amount of heat, and the marcona almonds brought a great crunch with the cilantro, lime, and mint brightening everything up. What a beautifully composed dish. We finished with the Halibut and Lady peas. The Halibut was topped with lobster and served with a lobster butter sauce, chives, and capers. Rich, buttery, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The lady peas (fava beans, asparagus, and a generous mound of blue crab) were another standout. So much flavor, but everything complemented each other instead of competing. One of those sides you keep looking for more of when it's gone. --- Overall Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and executed at a high level. Service was warm and genuinely kind -- especially with our little one. 10/10 would recommend

    So I had seen this spot for ages and I have never been inside. So I tried to make a point to go in…read morebecause I was in the area. It's in a shopping center so there are plenty of parking, but you may not be able to park close to where you want to walk to the door to because there are so many other spots there. But the parking is free in Buckhead. So that's a plus! There's spaces inside and outside for you to go to, so that's good, but the inside is very nice and decorated very well. They have TV so you can watch sports but it's not a sports bar so don't get that confused. The bar is a nice size and set it pretty well. Not billions of bottles but just enough to what you need. Dean was my my server and bartender, super good customer service, very warm and communicative, and I would have come back just to sit at the bar with him again. The ball is very well kept and very clean, but the whole establishment was as well. They have a lot of space by the bar and to the other side of the restaurant as well. The menu is predominantly seafood related but they have other things as well. But they have a couple things that look like. They should be really really good so I am going to have to double back! Calamari - The calamari was pretty good. It came out really fast so it makes me think that they were already cooking by the time I ordered LOL. But it had a sweet chili sauce to it, but the calamari seem to be crispy and seasoned enough to where it wasn't a requirement. Brussel sprouts - brussel sprouts for good, kind of wish they had more of them but they were still pretty tasty. Overall. They had the vinaigrette flavor so I know that they were cooked well. They were more firmed and mushy so that was good. I would get them again and I was see. Can I get a full order instead of just a side order because they were just that good. Old bay fries - The Old Bay fries were okay. They had that sodium to where you needed ketchup to kind of bring the sweet. But they were still good though regardless. Shrimp tacos - these were good. Had 3 large shrimp. Got mine blackened and they were just the right amount of taste and flavor. The sauce on it was a little much but that was okay though, it balanced out all of the spice for the peppers and the shrimp seasoning. Gumbo - the gumbo was pretty good and it came in a large bowl, more than you would think a cup would be. Savory and tasty. Overall, with the quality of the food and the customer service, I feel like this place definitely deserves my attention again. The first time I went in I only had a couple of appetizers, and that really didn't do it justice.

    Friends told us about Big B's. it's been around for nearly a decade. To be fair, we rarely go out…read morefor seafood and we never go IP, but thought we'd give Big B's a shot -- and we're glad we did. We dined on the patio; the weather was fantastic. My bride really liked her glass of Sauv Blanc. The glass is a nice size and the pour was really generous. We enjoyed the Fried Calamari app. My bride ordered Fish & Chips and I ordered the Lobster Roll. All the food was excellent. Great fries, really great Cole Slaw. Drinks and food arrived promptly and everything was at the proper temperature. Every staff person we met was cheerful and helpful with Deenie our server best in class. This was my second-ever Lobster Roll and it was the second-best after a Cousins Food Truck. The B's portion seem significantly smaller and, at $35, more expensive. In general, Big B's pricing is what lost them a star in my review. We will definitely return when we earn another $120...

    My mother wanted seafood for her birthday, and after hearing so many great things about this…read morerestaurant, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally give it a try. Making reservations was incredibly easy through OpenTable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient valet service for only $3. It was an effortless start to what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the host and promptly escorted to our table without any wait. Our waiter, Kevin, was phenomenal. He did an excellent job explaining the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure everyone's needs were attended to throughout the afternoon. The service was attentive without being overbearing--truly excellent and unforgettable hospitality. We started with the Chargrilled Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and Calamari. Everything was satisfying, but the calamari was the standout for me. It had the perfect crunch and was quite literally fried to perfection. I would absolutely order it again. These appetizers are true staples and a great way to start the meal. We also enjoyed several rounds of cocktails. The bartender was able to execute a few off-menu, custom cocktails perfectly, and there were absolutely no complaints from our table. Everything was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the Blackened Branzino with lemon-herb beurre blanc, paired with whipped potatoes and Vichy carrots. By far, this is one of the best seafood entrées I've had in Atlanta. I've had branzino at plenty of other restaurants, but this one? It clears the competition and has officially claimed the #1 spot on my list. The fish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sauce and sides. The rest of our party had equally impressive meals. I had the opportunity to sample the 12 oz. Prime NY Strip, Blackened Salmon, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, Green Beans, and Clam Chowder, and everything was amazing. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed. Overall, this was truly an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Great food, phenomenal hospitality, attentive service, and an atmosphere that made celebrating my mother's birthday feel special. I'm already looking forward to returning--and next time, I definitely want to check out the patio! A true standout for seafood in Atlanta. Highly recommend.

    Free parking lot parking but small with more parking available in the adjacent garage. The ambience…read moreis quite intimate and dim. I came on a Friday afternoon during oyster happy hour, and it was packed. There's plenty of tables. However, because it was so busy, I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. I made one and came 5-10 min earlier and we were seated right away. But they gave us the table right next to the door so we'd feel the door opening and closing throughout our dinner. As for food, the $2 oyster deal applies to their regular oysters where you can get them grilled or raw and in either half a dozen or a dozen pieces. The oysters were overall kind of small. Honestly, the grilled oysters were better tasting than raw to me. The calamari was great though. However, the breading easily fell off. The garlic aioli is a good addition for more flavor combos. I wish the sauce could have been a little bit spicier but that's a personal preference. I tried their draftburger beer which on happy hour is $5. It's a good light beer if that's what you're into. Not bad. Cocktails were ranging $10-20. This place takes pride in their service and attitude - and you can tell from how they dress and how they run things. It's definitely a place to come back for whether it's for the oysters again or other entrees.

    Absolutely outstanding dining experience!…read more Eddie V's in Alpharetta is what I consider top-tier dining. From the moment we walked in, the ambience, attention to detail, and professionalism of the staff immediately let me know this was going to be a special evening. The atmosphere is elegant, upscale, and sophisticated without feeling stuffy, and the overall vibe is perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply treating yourself to a great dinner. Now let's talk about the FOOD! The bone-in ribeye was phenomenal. Beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly the way I wanted it. Definitely one of those steaks that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite. The crab fried rice was another standout. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and packed with crab. It wasn't just a side dish sitting next to the steak, it could easily hold its own as part of the meal. And the lump crab cakes? Absolutely delicious. Heavy on the crab, light on the filler, with that perfect golden finish. If you're a crab cake person, do yourself a favor and order them. What really took the experience to another level, though, was the service. Everyone was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience. There was never that feeling of being forgotten or having to chase someone down. The staff stayed one step ahead without hovering, which is exactly what excellent service should look like. Eddie V's understands that fine dining isn't just about what's on the plate. It's the entire experience. The food, ambience, presentation, hospitality, and attention to detail all came together beautifully. 5 stars without hesitation. The bone-in ribeye, crab fried rice, and lump crab cakes alone are worth coming back for. Add the atmosphere and top-tier service, and Eddie V's has officially earned a spot on my list of favorite upscale dining experiences in the Atlanta area.

    The front desk personnel courtesy and greeting, or lack thereof, fell far below expectations, and…read morethe was quite an unwelcome and unwanted surprise. Yet the cuisine, the ambiance, and the service "lived up to the mark," five stars and above, for dining at Eddie V's. Hopefully the front door staff assigned with making the most important "first impression" can meet the standards expected for a four-to-five star restaurant.

    Pappadeaux on Windy Hill is one of those places I've been to enough times to know exactly what I…read morelike. I love stopping in for Happy Hour when I can. It's a great way to grab a drink and a few bites without committing to a full dinner, and the bar area usually has a good after-work energy. As far as the food, I have several favorites. The Seafood Gumbo is always a good start, and the Seafood Fondeaux is rich, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. For entrées, the Redfish Pontchartrain and Fried Catfish are both solid choices. The Cobb Salad is another good option when I want something a little lighter. And I almost always get the Strawberry Lemonade. One important note if you don't eat pork: stay away from the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo and the Dirty Rice because both contain pork. I always appreciate knowing things like that ahead of time. The food is consistently flavorful and portions are generous, which is probably why this location stays so busy. Parking is technically ample because the lot is large, but don't let that fool you. After work and on weekends, this place can be packed. Give yourself extra time to circle the lot and find a space, and if you're coming during peak hours, be prepared for a wait. The atmosphere is lively and casual with that familiar Pappadeaux New Orleans-inspired feel. It's definitely not the place I'd choose if I wanted a quiet dinner, but for seafood, drinks, and a fun crowd, it works. I keep coming back because I know what I like, the food is dependable, and Happy Hour is always a good idea here.

    The food and drinks here are amazing !! The wait is always super long like 2-3 hours on the regular…read moreespecially in the weekends after 3pm. I sat at the bar if you're over 21+ and by yourself or with one person the bar is your best bet. Anyways let's get into the food. Seafood was amazing and I'm a hard critic I'm from Baltimore. The customer service was top tier, everyone was sweet and very attentive even at the bar. To drink I got the perfect patron margarita - frozen 100/10 it was so good and strong. I got the medium I promise you only need one. My Food I ordered crab and spinach dip 9/10..very good I didn't care for the crostini's that comes with it regular crackers or bread is better. But the dip is delicious wish it had a lil more crab meat tho!! Entree is ordered the Salmon Alexander w/dirty rice and a Caesar salad. Dessert I ordered the cheesecake so good!! I will be back They are running a $49/pp special right now. Should go check them out if you're interested!!

(Though I travel 25 minutes for this treat…read more At Kickin' Cean you will find a variety of fresh seafood (mostly shellfish) offered in a variety of user defined flavors and styles. From king crab to fried jumbo shrimp, this food won't disappoint. Their house seasoning for fries and other fried foods is amazing. Both sweet and sassy, but very addictive. The homemade cocktail sauce seems to employ the same flavors as part of their mix. Yum! Preeling, cracking, and dipping makes for a messy meal so dress accordingly. The tables have fresh paper on top, ready for you to do your worst. Bibs and tools, too! Service here is very attentive and friendly. The dinning room is casual and spacious. This is a local gem open for lunch and dinner! Fresh seafood and lots of bold flavors await!

    I was in the area and craving fried oysters, so I decided to stop by. Originally, I was only…read moreplanning to order the fried oysters with fried shrimp and fries. I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.

    On a beautiful early summer day with warm sunshine and gentle breezes, it was a pleasure to sit at…read moreone of the outside patio tables, overlooking the colorful flower garden and the lazy river -with food and service that lived up to this restaurant's positive reputation and its 5 star reviews. Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

I'd understand if they stated it online or somewhere but they decide each evening whether or not they will take any takeout orders and then only way to find out is by calling. This is incredibly frustrating because you can't plan or count on being able to get food from there and with a menu as expensive as theirs that's just unacceptable, in my opinion. My impression is that they are stuck in the 1980s around when they opened and don't want to update the experience. Hence their post strict dress code and arbitrary takeout policy.
